Zachary Finneren, 25, made a change in attorneys at the brief hearing. He is now being represented by Dan Geherin, who made a motion to postpone the preliminary examination three weeks so he could review the case.

Finneren was previously represented by Wright Blake. There was no explanation in court as to why the switch was made.

Assistant Washtenaw County Prosecutor John Vella had no objections and Judge Elizabeth Pollard Hines scheduled the exam for Dec. 5.

There were no arguments about bail. Finneren remains in custody on a $250,000 cash bond, an amount set by a judge after the accused shooter posted a previously set $50,000 and was set free.

Finneren has been back in jail since Nov. 7, when his preliminary examination was adjourned. His appearance Thursday was brief and he didn’t have a chance to speak. Tearful family members of Finneren were in the courtroom and spoke to Geherin in the hallway afterward.

Finneren, a University of Michigan Dearborn graduate, works as a security guard and is a reservist first lieutenant in the Army. He held a concealed pistol license that has since been surrendered.

There was no sign in the courtroom of Marty LaBelle, the 25-year-old Illinois man Finneren is accused of shooting in the abdomen at a downtown Ann Arbor bar Oct. 27.

Police say Finneren shot LaBelle just before 12:44 a.m. at Rush Street, 314 S. Main St., after LaBelle intervened in a dispute on the dance floor. LaBelle’s father, Daniel, told The Ann Arbor News that his son said Finneren was “creeping” on women in his Marty’s group.

After multiple requests to go away, Finneren reportedly pushed one man in the group before LaBelle got in between them.

The fight escalated until Finneren allegedly pulled a gun out of his pocket and fired one shot that struck LaBelle in the abdomen, according to LaBelle’s father.

Finneren faces charges of assault with intent to murder; assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder; assault with a dangerous weapon; assaulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer; possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and discharging a firearm in or at a building.
